Hey
ive played no games for about 2 weeks. Today i just wanted to play solitare and i realized that the screen resolution is very small... alle the cards are smaller than before. I tested some other games and there are also bad screen resolutions
In some games there are three-quarter black and only in one edge corner you can see the small game...
My Desire is rooted with Leedroid 2.3e.
what could i do against it?
thx
You cant do anything, the desire has a wvga resolution, so if a game or app is made for a diff resolution (hvga, qvga, wqvga, vga) it wont display in full screen ......

But before it was in the right resolution. Hqvent seen sth like thaht before
noone has an idea?
Hy, I open this threat because I wandering what you guys prefer to play on this magic phone.
At this moment I trying to find a way to play Dead Space....You?

I had first bought a OnePlus One. Then I tried Google Cardboard and immediately switched to a G3.
Google Cardboard games are perfect with the G3.
If you haven't seen it yet, Cardboard is a cheap-ass VR headset (made out of... you guessed it! Cardboard!!). You'll need to get one of the bigger ones due to the big screen of the G3 (the one I have works, but it cuts off parts of the display on some of the SBS (side by side) 3d videos on YouTube and in some of the Playstore's VR apps.
The OnePlus has 1080 display, which I thought would have been plenty, but Cardboard basically uses magnifying glasses for lenses, so with 1080, it doesn't look as great as you'd think. However the G3's display is so awesome that it is perfect for it.
Google cardboard is something that I never seen before. Ty for this post. Looks very interesting...
Recently got this tab for the high resolution screen but have been disappointed by the Facebook app the pictures are pixelated and videos any way to load them higher resolution ???

The Facebook app is actually designed for phones. They haven't created a tablet style version of the app yet, so you're better of viewing things in portrait mode on Facebook or try and use the website rather than the app.
Pictures are automatically compressed and loose quality when they've been uploaded to Facebook so that maybe a factor although it pretty much comes down to what the other user (who you're viewing the media from) is using to take pictures or video's and how they're uploading them. It looks perfectly fine on my Tab S.
Just because your screen is a resolution of 2560 x 1600 this doesn't mean that when a person takes a 1920 x 1080 video it will look any better than on a 2560 x 1600 screen. It should actually look a bit worse as it's 2x the pixels of 1920 x 1080 and thus your tablet is having to use 4 pixels for every one pixel that would be used on 1920 x 1080 native screen. This makes images look slightly more blocky when they're not the native resolution of the screen, though this problem is harder to see on a tablet screen due to the size of them. It's hard to describe but I've done my best.
The main area's of advantage you'll get out of a high pixel screen and the AMOLED is from better colour reproductions, clearer UI and better looking webpages/books when reading.
Hope this helps If it does give me a thanks!
And here I thought I was the only one with Facebook video problems. I am glad to know it was not my tablet acting up.
I’ve been struggling to get a clear answer from Sony official support team on why when I run a simple screen test by three different applications I get 1920 x 1080 (~403 dpi) or less on my E6883. They claim E6883 screen has 2160 x 3840 pixels (~806 ppi pixel density) resolution. That’s what I though we get on Xperia Z5 Premium. 4K was one of the main reasons I bought this phone. In reality, as the actual screen resolution, I get regular HD.
Here is what they (Sony) say:
“Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia™ Online Support.
The information you requested is presented in the link Agent Argelia provided:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10...our-4k-display-technology-questions-answered/
Now to talk a little about your question, the resolution on the screen of the Xperia Z5 premium is 2160 x 3840 pixels (~806 ppi pixel density) meaning that this is what the screen is capable of presenting.
Now as explained in the link above, the full 4k resolution is only used for certain content and applications that are able to use this resolution, This means that in normal operation the phone displays content in HD1080 (Home screen, certain images, settings screens, games, screen captures and certain apps).
Now if you open and app that renders in 4k the app will make full use of the native resolution and you will be presented with full 4K images: Certain video streaming apps, YouTube, Streaming video, VR videos and full 4k videos downloaded from sites or with third party apps that are able to download full 4k video from YouTube.
I myself use a third party app called Tubemate that allows me to download 4k video and then play it with the album app in the phone. (4K videos will have a white "4k" mark in the album preview thumbnail. So far the YouTube app still does not have the capability to show 4K video) Although you can view 4k video from YouTube if you open the website in chrome and then in settings (in chrome) you can request for the Desktop version of the YouTube page. (The resolution settings will then let you choose 4k)”.
I could understand all the playback explanations. However, I am talking about displaying 4K on the screen that is ONLY capable to render in 1920 x 1080 (~403 dpi) according to the testing apps I tried. How is it possible? I start thinking real 4K resolution in terms of DISPLAYING (not recording) is a faked advertisement. I wonder if someone has come across the same issue. Would be glad to hear your thoughts!

this is just like how Apple do their Retina screen. They upscale the software resolution into the real 4k hardware resolution. so yes it is a real 4k screen, but only rendered 2k most of the time. do you think it's such a waste? maybe, but i'd like to see it as a feature rather than a standard. when you have that 4k video, such feature will be usable. Same as the CPU, you only get most of the core working when you need it on gaming.

To put it bluntly, you are wrong in your assessment. It is Lollipop that can't display 4K. The Z5P can and does display 4K content within apps. I could type screeds explaining this in detail, but instead, just watch this video. The display and its 4K aspect is covered from 8 minutes and 15 seconds..

But the Dev had to 'fix' the screen resolution properties for the Z5P in the app (check the most recent changelog). It wasn't being detected via the usual checks. This is what causes some people concern or confusion when they investigate.
If you want, I can make you an app that detects 8K, or 16K, or "insert your desired resolution here" K.
All folk need to remember is that the Z5P does have a 4K resolution, regardless of what apps say

Believe it or not, after watching the video you posted earlier, by Erica Griffin, I had a second thought that left me with a bit of a residual doubt. In that video, the only "evidence" of actual screen testing she said was ADB readings when resolution switched from HD to 4K. However, she never SHOWED those reading. Given that her videos are quite professionally shot, I don't see why not show the actual ADB readings to us. Technically we're only left with her words. I guess we have to take them
I'm actually more concerned with the physical screen; does it really have enough pixels to be considered 4K capable of DISPLAYING a 4K content? Still in doubt...

When in doubt, use microscope or something and count.
4k would be 4 times the amount of pixels compared to a 1080p screen. Dividing the pixels on Z5p with a 1080p screen should give us 4, (3840x2160)/(1920x1080)=4

I have a much better idea.
Sell your Z5P.
Or learn how to debug and see the wood for the trees.
I'm done trying to reason with you. You're irrational, facts are clearly lost on you.

I’ll tell you what, PAL. I got an idea too! Get off this panel with this kinda attitude and don’t come back until you learn the definition of basic “manners”. When you provided some valuable info the first time, we thanked you, which I definitely feel the opposite now.

It better be, otherwise how does one explain this awful battery life with over 3400mah!! Lol don't doubt it, it's working!

You're right! I too noticed heavy battery consumption while playing 4K files. TY

One could do their own adb and get the readings themselves if you question someones findings. Notice no one has done their own or let alone debunk what she has said. Even MKBHD said in some apps to you see the switch happen. My guess is some apps based on resolution you will see no change at all because the content itself isn't 4K.
Here's some other evidence that the screen is 4K. There's a lot more out there a simple search could find.

Sorry for responding to this thread but let's let it die right now. Yes it has a 4K display.

same issue
It seems now the screenshots are in 4K Resolution
Hi guys, I'm considering buying the Z5P to use with a virtual reality HMD (head mounted display) due to it's 4K screen resolution. I'm primarily interested only in using it as a virtual screen (aka private screen, private IMAX) due to the presumed ability (on my part) to display 1080 lines to each eye when using a HMD.
However I'm reading that the Z5P only uses 4K during certain situations but that this can be up to developers to implement.
So I'm assuming using a Z5P in a HMD to get a 1080 line display to each eye is possible in theory but can someone please confirm it for me - and I mean a person who has done it and confirmed it's actually 1080 lines.
I have read a couple of threads about doing this and while they claim it's working I need more reassurance that they aren't seeing a lower resolution while still having a marked improvement due to the high DPI leading to much less "screen door effect".
Thanks!
diji1,
I'm interested in the Z5p for the same reasons and also have a ZU just like you. Hope someone can come along and answer this.
I think to be absolutely sure which I will happily test is to run an overlay script or app that can tell me if the VR apps or games I run is in fact in 4k. So I see there are overlay apps to determine the FPS of a game. It will be nice to know it there is something similar to determine the resolution of the app/game.
One test I did make is to take a screenshot of CMoar Cinema running a movie. The properties of the screenshot says its 4K (3840x2160). But perhaps you can analyse the screenshot file for yourself and determine whether the content is actually true 4k or not. I suggest analyse the interior parts of the cinema and not the actual movie (Force Awakens) shown on screen because I was playing a straight 1080p rip of my blu ray (I dont own any 4k blu rays). Hopefully the original screenshot file here can help you determine. Do let me know if you want me to upload screenshots of other games and apps. I will post this up on the other thread so we can discuss it a bit further given this is strictly a Q&A
